Karewa is located 14km North West from Pilot Bay & directly north

mutton bird, & in 1878 the steamer "Taranaki" ran into the island
in which its remnants a large boiler from the ships engines remain on
the Northern side. The islands beauty is enhanced by the abundant marine
life, large boulders with flat edges and a sandy bottom.
